The Trust Sweet Iron Dee Locked Bit offers a unique combination of flexibility and firmness, making it ideal for horses that tend to resist contact. Crafted from Sweet Iron, this bit has a distinctive blue color that naturally oxidizes with use, encouraging salivation and enhancing bit acceptance through its sweet taste. Over time, the Sweet Iron will develop a classic brown-gray patina, reflecting its natural rusting process.
The locked mouthpiece functions like a jointed bit under light pressure but transforms into a straight bar under heavier rein pressure, providing additional control when needed. This design gives riders more precise control, making it a great choice for horses that are against the hand. The D-shaped cheekpieces offer stability and ensure that the bit sits comfortably and calmly in the horse's mouth.
